WAMP: Windows + Apache + MySQL + PHP | Developer: That's You!Developer - Thumbs Up

Performing a Clean Re-Install of WampDeveloper

1. Close all files that are opened in editors, and close any opened folders, that are located in the C:\WampDeveloper folder.

2. Run the WampDeveloper application (WampDeveloper.exe), go into Components Tab, at the very bottom click the "uninstall wampdeveloper" link. Run the uninstallation tasks. Note any messages.

3. Once the uninstall tasks are done, close WampDeveloper.exe
If you have no websites and databases to preserve, delete this folder (note that this will also delete all your websites and databases)...
Start > Computer > select your drive > right click 'WampDeveloper' folder > Delete.
We need to delete this folder as a new install will not overwrite everything or clean-up anything.
If you have websites and databases to preserve, rename the C:\WampDeveloper folder to C:\WampDeveloper.old.

4. Reboot your system (usually not necessary).

5. Download and install newest version of WampDeveloper in the original location.

Extra Steps to Re-Import Websites and Databases

6. Run WampDeveloper.exe, use the Websites Tab to re-create all your previous websites. This will form all the proper configuration files (with new information and the correct paths), folders, etc.

7. If you have websites to re-import: Stop the Apache Service, delete the new C:\WampDeveloper\Websites folder, copy the previous install's \Websites folder in.

8. If you have databases to re-import: Stop the MySQL Service, delete the new C:\WampDeveloper\Database folder, copy the previous install's \Database folder in.
If you are upgrading WampDeveloper v4.0 to v4.1, the MySQL version has been updated from 5.1 to 5.5. This requires the database files to be updated.
Open the Command Line (System Tab, Command Line button), and run: mysql_upgrade.exe

9. If a database import was done in step #8 - If you have previously set a password for MySQL's root account, you must close WampDeveloper.exe, edit WampDeveloper.xml, and update these lines to reflect the change (or web application installations will not work):

  <values>
    <key name="dbUsername">root</key>
    <key name="dbPassword">root-password-here</key>
  </values>

10. If you have any custom changes to any of the configuration files (httpd.conf, php.ini, my.ini, etc) you'll also need to re-implement them.

11. Run WampDeveloper.exe. Start the Apache and MySQL Services.
